A Waxing Inconjunct between the Virgo Moon and Aries Sun (8 deg) says there are some details to attend to, before you reach the peak of the Libra Full Moon.  Is there something you overlooked? What needs to be refined? The corrections you make will be adjusted with the Aries drive forward, so you’re not grinding to halt, but you’re paying attention to the little things. 

Reading the fine print may be annoying. Or maybe you don’t want to acknowledge the error. Just fix it or attend to it – it’s not a huge deal, but it will trip you up if you ignore it.

March 24th, 2018: First Quarter Square

A First Quarter Square between the Cancer Moon and Aries Sun (3 deg) suggests an emotional crisis. New needs are emerging, but there is tension between wanting to be safe/mothered versus aggressive challenges that push you outside your comfort zone.

The tension is dialled up by the Moon’s opposition to Mars/Saturn in Capricorn: blocked actions or the demand for more effort can leave you feeling frustrated, unsatisfied and insecure. And yet the Sun squares Mars, which will fire up that pushy Aries energy. So there’s anger, and repression. You could be bruised. Or, if you’re doing the pushing, you may bruise someone else.

The key here is that certain needs will not be met immediately. But don’t ignore those feelings of discomfort – they’re a sign that you’re progressing. It doesn’t feel good right now, so what can you do (Mars)? Forward movement is essential, but Mars/Saturn will ensure that progress is slow. There’s work to be done, but if you’re focused and do what you have to do, you’ll eventually arrive at that place where your needs are honoured.

This is all self-reliant energy (Mars, Aries, Saturn) – you’ll have to look after yourself. We are working up to a Libra Full Moon, and Mars/Saturn will be a crucial part of this. Libra is the sign of relationships, so you’re building towards something that involves “the other.” But for now, your best approach is to be self-sufficient, and figure out what you need to do to meet your own needs.

Be aware that Saturn delivers consequences, and those consequences will be illuminated during the Full Moon. So even while you’re taking care of business, watch your actions. You don’t have to be cruel. Setting boundaries does not mean trampling over someone.

March 22nd, 2018: Waxing Sextile and Mercury Rx

A Waxing Sextile between the Gemini Moon and Aries Sun (1 deg) suggests ideas are fuelled by initiative. This energy is quick, sparky and impulsive – new choices/information may come and go rapidly, so you’ll have to be on the ball. This energy encourages conscious awareness of your choices, and what you can do with them. It also encourages the awareness that it’s up to you to do something.  

Note that Mercury (ruler of this Moon) is stationing Rx in Aries on this day. So put the Waxing Sextile’s energy in the context of Mercury Rx’s delays. Rather than trying to forge ahead, consider applying the sextile’s potential towards any questions, reviews or contacts from the past. Perhaps a hot new lead requires your intensified focus. Looking more closely, pausing or asking the pointed questions could unlock something special.

February 27th, 2018 Waxing Inconjunct

A Waxing Inconjunct between the Leo Moon and Pisces Sun (9 deg) triggers tension between between ego and transcendence of the ego. As you build towards the culmination of the March 1st Virgo Full Moon , there may be a special accomplishment or area where you want to shine.

This is legit, but you must adjust the “look what I’m doing/this is what I want” urge with a larger purpose – you might have to give something up, or find the point between selfishness and selflessness. No one’s asking you to sacrifice it all, but consider if your special talent might help someone else. What might happen if you give away a piece of what you’re creating?

You might be hesitant to let go, or step back. After all, you’ve earned this. But consider that “your” creation was never really about you – you were the conduit, and now you’re passing the light on so it can shine for others.
